to be an unlawful assembly of course that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction terms of how easy it is for the police force to see this in a. awful assembly or it is a lawful assembly but let's look at montreal for example and across get back in any major city back where if you were fifty people or more in a in a peaceful protest a nonviolent protest that could be depended on unlawful assembly if you have enough presented your itinerary and the directions of according to your protest routes to the police force of the municipality and come back before the protest is started and that's what's causing a lot of controversy because people are saying you know it's my inherent right to go out and express our opinions me able to go to the streets and take to the streets in a peaceful manner and when i was covering as a reporter the major protests that were happening in downtown montreal because of the students protests that were happening there basically what i saw from microsoft is that i was even attacked for basically just filming police for doing my job for being able to report on a story what what's happening here and i mean i've some extent people said to me

well you know you have understand they're only doing their job that on a certain extent i think. a great journalist who threatened to reveal a high profile government ford remains in custody speeders cut us a pedestal was arrested on wednesday after he promised to expose and live on t.v. alarming facts reportedly connected to the country's painful bail deal that is the comes after another reporters to trial on thursday for publishing a list of alleged top tax evaders meanwhile the country phase a major media strike that triggered by a suspension of two state t.v. presenters for criticizing the minister on am still from free press magazine believes that the greek government would go to any extent to stop the information from going public. journalists in greece are absolutely doing their job the country is in crisis but people need to know what's going on and their rulers on telling the world these are journalists are doing is trying to reveal to the public the

very most of all the information relating to the economic crisis the exposure relate to the real crisis in greece and in other countries too which is tax avoidance and the export of capital the taking of money out of the country which is one time to the greek economy the government is in absolute crisis in greece the economy is tottering the most terrible social deprivation it's a terrible time for greek people and they're being very badly treated not just by degree by the whole european financial establishment they need to know the truth but don't see how they can get away with prosecuting these people it's actually going to be a very interesting test of freedom in greece. coming up later this hour for king alta to go green we'll get our bill is a strive for nuclear shutdown and the accompanying shift towards renewable energy is delivering a painful blow to family budget. barack obama and mitt romney are throwing everything they've got into a last ditch effort to woo voters in undecided states in the closing days of the

pre-election dual promises of change and economic recovery are taking center stage in what's ironically the most expensive presidential race in u.s. history but talk about any cuts to the message defense spending is absent from the front lines of the campaign with both candidate is expected to keep the mighty military machine rolling as marina but reports. our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office we spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined china russia france the united kingdom you name it america has a responsibility and the privilege of helping defend freedom we've got to strengthen our military long term i will not cut our military budget in a post nine eleven america the pentagon's budget has grown to more than forty percent averaging half a trillion dollars per year critics say

a new party or presidents in the white house won't change the policies firmly cemented in washington realities that both of these men are very much continuations of the military industrial complex is domination of our political system in our democracy so when they keep talking about how they're going to supply jobs increasingly that's where the jobs come from. both foreign interventions and also this giant so-called homeland security department price of defending the homeland critics say continues to come at a grave cost to civil liberties this war on terror you know will lead we discussed or the m.t.a. now you have the military most bullies you know cracking down on protesters now you have this massive empire in order just sitting there. you need. to make sure that the war came rages are earlier this year the former cia director

applauded president obama for closely following the controversial policies of his part assessor and despite a campaign that was based upon a very powerful promise of transparency president obama and again in my view quite correctly. has used the state secrets argument in a variety of courts as much as president bush more than six and a half thousand u.s. soldiers have been killed fighting america's post nine eleven wars and nearly fifty thousand have been wounded in action are reported quarter million americans who have fought in iraq or afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health injuries from combat service even as america's wars wind down the suicide rate among troops has surged to a thirty year high according to the pentagon this year's total may reach as many as one suicide per day it's not just what happens in war only the deaths and injuries or happens in words you know you have these their betters coming home you know to

two broken communities and families with. moms and all this in terms of society is that something that wants you know do we want as a society where are important members of our community in the coming coming in a moment when. the reality of war in the two thousand and twelve fiscal year tax payers funded a u.s. defense budget of five hundred forty four billion dollars it's estimated that some could provide two million military veterans with free medical care for thirty five years talking about national defense has been almost sacrosanct to you know sort of like the thanks department one something to question that is to question. something that is unquestionable and that has meant that the largest pert of the u.s. government spending has been beyond analysis beyond public scrutiny in four

days americans will leaped a leader for the next four years regardless of who wins the legacy of war cemented under the past two u.s. presidents indicate that the roots of moriches defense budget will continue ballooning this causing many to house if hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to increase security or even rude stability of mourning for me or her enough or not party and while obama and romney pledged to pull the us out of the deep ditch of debt some of the us say only spending on defense is the main reason the economy ended up going down and in the first place. and there's no more important issue in america today and how much we're spending on our military our military industrial complex that's where most of us tax dollars go i mean our total is is more than the top sixteen other nations in the world and says most americans know

that this is wasteful spending here it creates a few jobs but there's so many more jobs that would be created if that spending that governmental spending was done on a whole bunch of other things like publicly utilities like a whole other range of areas so it's really destroying our economy in a lot of ways besides creating a lot on this sort of violence around the world you know what happened to a lot of other societies that these military industrial complex takes over nobody stops it and before you know it you know your whole country is like an overwhelming debt as a presidential frontrunners shy away from slashing the defense budgets the alternative names on the ballot have taken the opposite approach but their party candidates are given no chance to deliver their message in the mainstream media so our day is helping break that blockade you can watch the final round of live debates between the green party's jill stein then libertarian gary johnson on my.

we should not hire a twenty. three troops as we sit in the war in afghanistan to morrow. what's the difference between a samurai sword and a blind guys walking stick well known if you're one of the cops in northern england an elderly blind architect with taser in the back because his cane looks like

a sword that was used in a nearby crime honest mistake because sorts are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuffed youth who was shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. it

is easy to. see. the culture is the same much about the taxpayers and i mean to say she isn't even a lot of people at area sandy his coming down but in the storms wake all the conversations running climate change return to american political discourse and debate politics. dot com this international writes on an international law we should not bomb iran we need to cut the budget and bring

the troops all we should end the war in afghanistan tomorrow. the persecution of whistleblowers globalists all dot com let's repeal the patriot act. by. sure to be rich bright. moving. from phones to precious. stones on t.v. don't come. here watching r t good to have you with us and brutal scene has occurred in the north of

syria when twenty eight soldiers have been killed at the hands of rebels the video which combi independently verified supposedly shows opposition fighters berating the soldiers as they laying on the ground they are called dogs before multiple rounds off i edge into their bodies the incident occurred close to a government troops have been clashing with militias trying to seize a key on the supply route this comes as one of the rebels main backers america announced a major opposition shake up with plans to hand to greater influence to militants on the frontline political analysts eric joy says things at the move could be a prologue to military intervention of. what's happened in recent months as the offensive from the syrian military as it has developed what we've seen is that they have no real backing on the ground that is to say the manufactured opposition and so the united states in their imperialist project to destroy the independent nation

of syria has to find another way in so a shake up of the opposition with new quote unquote leaders emerging this is the u.s. strategy in the syrian opposition the manufactured opposition i should say has been riddled with al qaeda and other forms of extremist many of them imported from the imperialist war against libya directly into syria the reality is. they're ordering the opposition they're arming the extremists because they want chaos in syria that is the only way to get military intervention and to move forward with the imperialist project we have to remember that the end of the us adventure in syria ending in defeat i should say would be the end of us hegemony in the middle east if their own people to continue their march from syria that means their attempt to destroy iran is unlikely to you all say that means that their stranglehold over the persian gulf and the oil resources is weakening so they're putting all their cards on the table and sort of putting all their chips in the pot when it comes to syria . on

a website of right now for you at the us the ones in israel that an attack on iran would compromise washington's maneuvers in the region. and politically proactive hollywood style george clooney is related to the sixteenth president of america abraham lincoln details on that story and much more on our t.v. dot com. chairman on a soft feeling the pinch of from soaring electricity bills padded by billions of jeck to direct the country of nuclear energy security and environmental issues a behind the big seem to be perfectly valid but as peter oliver reports it's all timid implications could hit germans hot. it was

a resoundingly no to nuclear from the german chancellor the available abandoned nuclear power completely step by step until the end of twenty twenty two as a country within that we can become pioneers on the way to create an age of renewable energy the two thousand and eleven meltdown at the fukushima power plant in japan the worst atomic energy disaster since chernobyl is the key motivation for rushing through nuclear decommissioning is the hard aspect security concerns are very strong this is the main factor in the decision to begin with duction of nuclear energy in germany atomic energy accounted for just under eighteen percent of german electricity in two thousand and eleven can renewable take up the slack government figures show that for every wind farm built to generate three thousand megawatts the amount needed to power three million homes the only expected to deliver one hundred megawatts to the national grid in reality though over the last ten years they've only been getting around half of that slightly over sixteen

percent the original three thousand which is forced germany back into the arms of fossil fuel with nuclear power taken off the table by angle of merkel germany is building a new fleet of coal fired power stations this one may it's a cologne with its doors an ogress of this year and it's up to these new power stations to provide germany with the electricity it's crying out for electricity prices are key for the international competitiveness of the non-ferrous metals industry if the electricity price increases by once and total cost increases by one hundred eighty millions per year industry is already feeling the pinch the steel workers in north rhine-westphalia went on strike to try and save their mill from closure it didn't work they may not be the only ones germany's importing more and more electricity from abroad which will mean higher prices some plants have closed in germany. threaten to close. the company's thinking to really

create new investments to countries abroad germany's neighbors don't share in safety concerns over nuclear power france uses atomic energy to generate the vast majority of its electricity whereas to the east poland is set to invest over fourteen and a half billion euros in the construction of eight new nuclear power plants one of them around one hundred kilometers from the german city of dresden peter oliver r.t. germany. more world news of the sun for chinese patrol ship have entered the waters of an ikea peleg zero display disputed by tokyo and beijing vessels have sailed through the area a number of times in the last two weeks despite ongoing radio warnings from japan's coast guard both countries lay claim to the small chain of uninhabited isles which reportedly hold vast reserves of natural resources the territorial fallout has

previously sparked a mass protests in china and japan. heavily armed gunmen have encircled in libya's polman building angry at the approval of a new cabinet they also blocked surrounding roads with armed to pickup trucks the gunmen mostly made up of former rebels are protesting against a lineup of new ministers slamming some members for their alleged links to the deposed regime of colonel gadhafi and his ruling national congress which voted on the cabinet on wednesday has been struggling to bring the water and country under control since last year's resolution. authorities in kuwait have freed a prominent opposition figure on bail for my own peace four day arrest over charges he insulted the nation's western backed government and cited a wave of angry demos which were brutally suppressed by police officials also responded with a. warning they would have toughened

a crackdown on dissent should more protest the current tensions in kuwait to ignited by a proposed changes to the electoral law which critics say is aimed at shattering the opposition's chances in next month's parliamentary. tensions are brewing in britain the ahead of budget talks between the e.u. leaders in brussels later this month the deputy prime minister says m.p.'s have given david cameron an impossible task that's after their pm suffered a massive blow from his own party the number of members voting with the opposition to demand a cut in the u. case cash flow to brussels i t's one of those conservative m.p.'s who oppose the prime minister my preferred to believe that the people of britain should get the chance to vote on whether to stay hard to look deeply forward. if you want to understand inflation increase on the budget would equate to an extra three hundred

million pounds a year and that would increase over the multi annual budget up to two thousand and twenty and at a time when the u.k. families are having to make very difficult often painful decisions with their household budgets local councils doing the same and even our own national government here in the u.k. i think it is absolutely right to expect the european union to try and trim some of its very large budget a budget that will increase to around one trillion euros up to two thousand and twenty so there is certainly room for efficiency savings this is a an entity which has failed to have its own account signed off for the last seventeen years it's i think a wasteful inefficient. i think it's politically smart for the government and i'm a member of the governing party to actually be in touch with public opinion majority people in the united kingdom have never had a say on our relationship with europe we need a referendum this side of the general election in this parliament and let democracy

reign and let the british people have their voice heard. an intense debate with peter lavelle and his guests coming your way in a cross-talk in just a couple of minutes. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the client's computers already spent three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is good for you is there a from the nine hundred fifty s. these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up for their four stimulating tissue regeneration it was

out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life be sent to the other patients shattered bones and in many cases their shattered lives were in the angle when a professor who is out of design his first brain using bicycle parts sixty years later says invention is increasingly being used to help people what eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same six thing somebody is alive both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted to the always out of center nowadays seeking surgery focus medical reasons most of them a man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them says it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg length i mean a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because panos to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their

head maybe not. thing wrong with them from the p.d. point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lois fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries a band in many countries and even the will out there pretty expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in auditors in america advertised as one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight in so one eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users wanted to be average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be short and it's not a big deal like your guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation

most this matter a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite endearing yet he still want to have had the surgery adding seven more centimeters to the self-confidence she took told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. so now or so they call you so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. and. blowing welcome across talk i'm a little sandy has come and gone but in the storms wake up with the conversations around the climate change we turn to american political discourse and debate politicians on both sides of the aisle agree that much needs to be done to prepare

for a future superstar. and continued severe weather what is not agreed upon is the strategy to head. to cross-talk climate change i'm joined by patrick michaels in washington he is the director of the center for the study of science at the cato institute in ottawa we have been the rand corp he is a former professor of physics at the university of ottawa and then where we cross to richard noam he is a lecturer at the university of edinburgh all right gentlemen cross talk rules and i think that means you can jump in anytime you want patrick you're in washington do you think in the wake of the storm there will be a new debate a new discussion about climate change because the two presidential candidates two major ones don't like to talk about this issue yeah and they're still not going to talk about it climate change is the third rail of american politics it's recognized that the cap and trade bill that the house of representatives passed in two

thousand and nine cost the democratic party the control of the house of representatives so nobody wants to go there right now ok richard i mean so it's just about politics nobody really cares about the earth everyone just cares about elections well i mean in america you've got massive massive funding for climate denial for people to go around saying it's not happening romney has picked a vice presidential candidate who says it's not happening why do they say it's not happening because they're paid through the nose to say it's not happening by the oil and coal industry ok then when you come out on this just politics not science well i don't know where that's coming well i just want to say that i don't get any funding from the oil industry or anyone and i'm a physicist and i've studied the question carefully and i do not believe that there is an established link between any greenhouse effect or planetary warming and severe weather events i don't even think that there well i'm sure.
